Resistance vs Resilience

The workplace is a microcosm of society, thus behaviours and beliefs that exist within society will inevitably be replicated in the workplace. Black people at different stages of their career, will experience racism at work in different ways but how does racism in the workplace manifest? Does discrimination and lack of diversity diminish overall organisational success and is there a pattern of behaviour towards Black leaders in UK organisations? Via compelling reflective narrative, this book illustrates the correlation between how Black people in senior roles are treated at work and the success or otherwise of leadership teams. It illuminates how subtle racism disempowers Black people in the workplace and can impede career progress. The author shares her coping strategies for individuals, with a focus upon resilience and offers suggestions to contribute to organisational transformation.
